DIR. M'GLYNN'S REPLY.
Substance of Statement Printed in the
Current Issue of Henry Georges Paper.

NEW YORK, July 14-Dr. McGIyyn's first re-
ply to the notice of his accommodation, aside
from the impassioned address that he delivered
Sunday night, will appear in this weeks
Standard. 1t occupies over four columns of
that paper. and is in the form of
an interview with a representative of
Mr.. Georges paper. In general. it may be said
that four or five days reflection has not caused
Dr. McGlynn to change in the leas: the defiant
attitude that he assumed Sunday evening
toward his former ecclesiastical superiors At the
the same time there is manifest effort through
out what he says to justify his course from the
beginning He gives to the public, for the first
time, his final summons to Rome, which
was sent hi1n in May, denounces the

but attributes that Drelates feeling towards him
to the 'onesided and numerous letters sen. to
Rome against the Doctor oy Archbishop Ccrri-
gam" He also attempts to prove that which he
and his friends have again and again asserted
that his case was prejudRed at Rome. and that
he was called there to be disciplined rather than
for trial. as Monsignor Preston declared The
letter sent to him by Archbishop Cor
is also given and commented on at length by
the unfrocked priest. The letter Of Cardinal
Simeoni. he says. was delivered to him by a
messenger Of the Archbishop on the evening of
the 22nd of May. He placed il in his pocket, to
be read at a more convenient time and up till
now wishing to keep his own counsel and leave
to his clerical enomies and prosecutors the
work of publishing to the world his let
tiers and his affairs. has neither acknowledged
nor denied the receipt OF it Speaking
of his having partaken of the holy communion
last Sunday. DR.. McGlynn says he did so be-
cause he holds that he has not been legally ex-
communicated: that he would not enter any
church and raise disturbance in order to par
take of the holy eucharist; that he would receive
it from any friendly priest who believes as he
does, but in a quiet way. in order not to get a
friend into trouble; and, finally. if all priests
may administer it, and that he will partake OF
the embiems from his own hands.

that Dr. McGlynn has consulted three eminent
jursts with q view of testing his case in the
courts on a plea that the church authorities have
boycotted him. and guilty, moreover, of de-

Ugly Charges of Gross Irregularities In His
Office at Port Townsend
The San Francisco Chronicle of July de-
votes fifteen columns of space to the presenta-
tion OF afidavits, which point to the existence
of an organized system of fraud on the revenue
in the Port Townsend customs district. In a
leading editorial that paper says:
The story of the affidavits in brief is that III.
E. Beesher, son of the late henry Ward Beech
sr. placed III a responsible position by
Grover Cleveland in the customs district re-
ferrcd to, after the United States Senate had
refused to confirm his appointment collector,
or the ground that he. II. F. Beecher, had mis-
appropriated certain moneys instructed to him.
Since his appointment by the President to this
specially created Office, 1t is alleged by numer-
ous persons that Beecher has Systematically
defrauded the government, and in instance
he withheld from informer the amount to
which he was justly entitled, and that a Chinese
was paid small sum to act as dummy informer.
Afidavits are also presented to show that
Beecher made false vouchers and subscribed to
them under OATH
the possession of Abner Lincoln Blake, formerly
in the customs service on the sound, and who
claimed that he was unjustly charged by
Beecher with certain acts, which accusations he
repeatedly requested the Treasury Department
to investigate, but without success.
In May last Blake started Ea st with the
avowed intention OF laying all OF his proofs be-
fore the departments, and in the event of fall
ure to procure investigation, to give the facts
TO the press. He left this coast in good health,
and so far as known, without intending to stop

do with fatal result. to himself In the absence
of full details it can only be stated that Blake.
while in that city. met with accident or foul
play which resulted in his death. No inquest
was held but il is stated that there was evil
dence of violence.
The gravity of these facts cannot be underes-
timated. The necessity for their publication is
patent The Treasury Department at Washing
ton for obvious reasons has failed to take steps
TO prove or disprove the charges made against
Beecher by Blake and sworn to by numerous
Trustworthy witnesses The only method of
forcing such an investigation is full publicity.
We venture to say that there will be sup
